paste special

[KK]

Hello,

In an earlier version of Word I could use 'edit / paste special / formats'
to copy the format but not the text of the clipboard. Now that I have Word
2002 I cannot find the same option. Has it been hidden, or am I missing
something obvious?.

Thanks

KK

You're not thinking of the format painter ("brush" icon) are you?
